judgement and
JUNK

I write a whole lot of crap about food. Most of it is just an off the cuff note about whatever is going on in my kitchen. But it is NEVER meant as a judgment about the way YOU eat. One of FB friends updated her status yesterday with a comment about how people who eat cheese, fruit and veggies cold, as opposed to room temp, have clearly given up on life and are just eating garbage. Really? I am sorry my cold strawberry has flagged me as a useless garbage eater. So, I want to be clear. No judgement from me. Do I want you to eat creme-filled snack cakes? No. Do I love you any less for it? No, I’m just a little jealous. This next Call is an for an all hung exhibit. No judgement there either…

Check out this Call for Entries from Art via Post for a Mail Art exhibit, book and website. There is no entry fee, and it is all hung. If mail art doesn’t excite you, think of it as a way to work through your artist block. Don’t miss this chance to participate…

I live in a town with a population of approximately 3500. We have 1 zip code & area code, 1 post office, and…one grocery store.

SLATE

While on vacation, I ate slate grilled baby back ribs for the first time. Yum.

So I’m a little shy about my food knowledge. My friends, readers and even my family ask food questions all the time with the assumption that I will know the answers because I write about food everyday. And, if you need to know how to boil the perfect egg, I’m your woman. But, I can’t tell you the flavor profile of every fruit, veggie and meat on the planet because I haven’t tried them ALL. I’m working on it though. In the meantime, when asked a question to which I don’t have an answer. I just shyly beg off the subject. Don’t be shy about this next opportunity…

BOOKS
for breakfast

We are all taught from an early age not to judge a book by its cover. However, nearly every cookbook in my collection got there because of an appetizing photograph on the cover. A friend that photographs food for a living told me that the looks are often achieved through under cooking, over cooking, shellac, resin and paint. What a shame that such beautiful food never gets eaten. But that knowledge does make me feel better about the ugly stuff I serve fairly regularly. This next Call wants to see your books and challenges artists of ALL media to enter. Take a look…

My cooking could be kindly described as abstract. As long as I get the flavor profile correct, I tend not to care if it actually looks like the textbook dish.

MILK
or not

It’s that time again. What would I be if I had to portray myself as food? This week I choose kefir. I am fascinated. My new gluten-free regimen had increased my dairy intake, and my son has dairy sensitivities. Enter milk kefir. Kefir is simply milk that is fermented at room temperature with kefir grains for about 24 hours. It has many wonderful health benefits, a great flavor and is also usually tolerated well by the lactose intolerant. I’ve been buying it commercially for $4 a quart, but now I’m going to make it myself. Think of it as a self-portrait…
